Best coworking spaces in Bethesda by area
Wisconsin Avenue and the Metro
If you want to step off the Red Line and be at your desk, this is the strip. Launch Workplaces at 7315 Wisconsin Ave is about one and a half short blocks from the station. It lists coworking from $200 a month, a student and teacher rate from $100, a day pass from $35 with access from 9am to 5pm, interior private offices from $500 to $800, and meeting rooms at $50 to $60 an hour. It also has a podcast room, Peloton bikes and on-site daycare through Childtime, which is rare enough to mention if you are a founder with small kids. Parking attached to the building is $11 a day, or $8 if you enter before 9am. See the Launch Workplaces listing for more.
WeWork at The Wilson, 7272 Wisconsin Ave publishes a day pass from $39, All Access Plus at $289 on a 12-month plan (a $339 price is also shown), dedicated desks from $523, and meeting rooms from $39 an hour. The building has a fitness center, showers, bike storage and outdoor space. All Access helps if your week also takes you into DC or Northern Virginia.
Regus at Three Bethesda Metro Center is about a one-minute walk from the station. Its Bethesda page lists day coworking from $45, an access plan from $9 per person per day and a dedicated desk from $7 per person per day, but those last two prices assume a 24-month contract. Read that part twice before you compare it with a month-to-month plan. Spaces at 7201 Wisconsin Ave and Industrious at 7200 Wisconsin Ave both sell day and monthly options by quote. Industrious also lists a second location at 4500 East West Hwy.
Bethesda Row and Cordell Avenue
Carr Workplaces at 4800 Hampden Ln sits near Bethesda Row. It publishes a $25 day pass, Home Base at $249, All Access at $299, a $550 dedicated desk with 24/7 access and private offices from $750. Its boardroom seats 10 at $60 an hour for members and $80 for non-members. If you already use Carr in Arlington or DC, the same brand runs here, so read our Arlington coworking guide and DC coworking guide side by side. More on the Carr Workplaces listing.
Bethesda Green at 4825 Cordell Ave is the one on this list with a community built in. It describes itself as serving startups and businesses that care about environmental sustainability and social impact, and it runs an incubator with mentorship, workshops and pitch practice. Plans have a three-month minimum: Lite at $100 for 5 days a month, Part-time at $150 for 10 days, Open Desk at $225, Dedicated Desk at $275 and private offices from $1,000 to $1,600. Drop-ins pay $25 a day but need to schedule ahead. See the Bethesda Green listing.
North Bethesda and Rockledge Drive
If you drive, or you need labs, look north. Greencourt Innovation Center is in the North Bethesda warehouse district, about a 10-minute walk from Twinbrook station, with biotech labs, private offices, event space and garage parking. It says it is HUBZone qualified, which is worth asking about if you sell to the federal government. Prices are not published. Pioneer Office Suites at 6903 Rockledge Dr shows an open desk at $475 a month and conference rooms from $45 an hour on LiquidSpace, and that listing shows two different starting prices for its private office, so get a written quote. Industrious also lists a location at Pike and Rose.
Free and low-cost ways to work in Bethesda
Pre-revenue? Start with the library. Montgomery County Public Libraries says the Connie Morella branch in Bethesda has quiet study rooms that need no reservation and collaboration spaces limited to one booking a day, up to two hours. Those rooms are not soundproof, so do not plan on a sensitive investor call. Meeting rooms go through the county's Community Use of Public Facilities office and must be booked at least seven days ahead. The page does not list fees or commercial rules, so ask MC311 if your meeting is for business.
Then do the math on a pass. At Launch, six $35 day passes cost more than a $200 membership. At Bethesda Green, the $100 Lite plan works out to $20 a day and the $150 Part-time plan to $15 a day, both cheaper than the $25 drop-in if you will really use the days. Remember the three-month minimum.
For community more than a desk, MoCo Code and Coffee meets at Bethesda Green on November 15, and Maryland Tech Council hosts a lunch and learn on IP and government-funded research in Rockville on November 10. Our DMV events calendar has more every week.
The Maryland address rule founders miss
This is the part most coworking lists skip. Maryland Business Express says your main office must be a real street address in Maryland, and tells filers not to use a P.O. Box, post office, UPS store, mailbox service or virtual address. It warns that breaking this rule can get your application rejected and cost you extra to fix.
- Mail plans. Bethesda Green lists a $40 virtual office, Launch lists mail packages from $39, Carr lists a business mailing address from $80, and WeWork lists a business address at $110 on a 24-month plan. These can be useful for mail. Before you put one on a state filing, ask the operator what the plan gives you and check that it meets the rule.
- Resident agent. The same page says most businesses need a resident agent, who must be an adult citizen of Maryland or a Maryland corporation, LLC, LP or LLLP. Your business cannot act as its own resident agent.
- County steps. Montgomery County's license page walks through SDAT registration, your EIN, the Comptroller's combined registration and the business license application. Working from home instead? The county's start-a-business guide points to its home occupation process and zoning map.
Our guides on starting a business in Maryland and forming a Maryland LLC cover the filing steps. Once you are registered, look at TEDCO's funding programs and Maryland small business grants.
County innovation centers worth a tour
Montgomery County says it manages four Business Innovation Centers: Germantown for life sciences, Rockville for medtech and other high tech, Silver Spring for all industries, and an AI Innovation Center. Tours are by request. The network's site lists Rockville at 155 Gibbs St, Silver Spring at 8070 Georgia Ave and Germantown at 20271 Goldenrod Ln. It does not publish prices, and parts of it look dated, so confirm directly. MCEDC and the Maryland SBDC are good next calls if you are not sure which fits.
How to choose the right space
- Count your real days. Under about six days a month, a day pass usually wins. Over that, a part-time plan or membership does.
- Price the meeting room, not just the desk. Rooms here run from $30 to $100 an hour. Two investor meetings a month can change which plan is cheapest, and Bethesda Green includes room hours in its plans.
- Test it on a Tuesday. Take a call from a phone booth, and see whether anyone talks to you.
- Read the term. A low daily rate tied to a 24-month contract is a different deal from a month-to-month plan.
- Check the address before you print it. Sort out the Maryland rule above before it goes on a filing, a website or a business card.
